Parent Conversations will be scheduled in person to coordinate with the applicant's visit or virtually. The purpose of the conversation is to learn more about the applicant from the perspective of the parent, answer questions, and provide any additional information needed by FHCDS or by the family. Conversations typically take thirty minutes.
